My 2nd go at racin
Didnt feel much pep in the legs on arrival. maybe they will 'come-to
life' as the race progresses, me hope
I counted 14 D'ers roll off up the hil
approx 10 laps later and we were all still together. All ver
civilised and unless my thoughts were decieving me, easier than las
week's effort
Going over the top of the hill we split into 2 with approx 6-7 goin
slowly off ahead. Cgrade finally caught us. They were definetley goin
slower than last week and all together too. They past, but this tim
they werent going to get me on that Left hairpin. Despite nagging fro
the commissaire, most of my group still 'Sat-up' onto the tail of th
C'ers for a lap
We kept going around and around (inMurray Walker voice) and i had bee
conscious of not constantly looking at my computer to watch the 30min
tick away. As i had forgot to 'zero' it at the start it was irrelevan
anyway! I was guessing 5-10 mins to go... I heard (i think i heard)
bell and wandered if that was ours. Passed the line and nothing was sai
so I assumed I was imagining things. I was alternating between going t
the back or to the front (usually on the hill; my tactic of jus
sticking on the 42T and spinning was taking the stress out of all th
changing)
Me and a dude on a yello C'dale alternated at thef ront and it felt lik
we were going to drop the other 3
Then we pass the line and the Bell is donged at us. Right, 3 laps to go
my memory recalls from the start-brief. The pace ups a bit and i wheel
suck like a 'hippy-on-heat'! Cdale man and another go to the front goin
ito the hairpin and try to take off going up the hill, me sittng an
spinning. Im aiming to have a go down the back straight. the other
come up next to and infront of me. we approach the line again AND TH
BUGGER IS HOLDING UP THE FLAG!#@#!@#@#!!!!
What happened to 3 laps? Cdale guy says he thought the same thing, s
obviously we both made the same mistake. Dooooh
Put that one down to alearning experience, then (Hue eeddiiooott
Stimpy!
Pity as I was starting to feel better at the end than I had at th
start. What gave me a real buzz was how fresh i felt when I got hom
and how fast the pedals turned this morning ( in the dark with n
redlights too )
So second goal achieved. Didnt get droppe
Next weeks adventure will be staying with that front half..
